A Review of Energy Security in The Face of Climate Security: Matching the Country Priorities with International Policies

Abstract

This paper presents a synthesis of the review and analysis of the relationship between climate change and the country's needs to embrace socioeconomic growth from the perspective of energy services. On one hand, energy security is essential in providing sustainable economic growth and meeting human needs for flourishing. On the other hand, climate security is also vital in safeguarding the sustainability of the planet and its people. Amid these two important but conflicting parameters, countries need to meet their energy demand, which is growing exponentially. These parameters are also affected by increased economic growth and improved human standards and civilization of the global south. The world increasingly faces geopolitical tensions and political instability that affect the meeting of international climate goals. In this paper, I provide a systematic review of the two conflicting sides of the sustainability aspects in line with the energy sector; how to match the national priorities with international climate policies remains a crucial question whose practical answer remains a challenge.
